Retro Florescent Tonal Sneakers

ASICS Prepares for Summer with a New GEL-KAYANO 5 OG Colorway

— May 22, 2019 — Fashion
Footwear label ASICS unveils a new tonal iteration of the signature GEL-KAYANO 5 OG sneakers in preparation for the summer season. The retro silhouette retains its structure, with an upper constructed from a blend of white mesh and white leather materials before being accented with some bold hues.

The details are informed through sea blue and fluorescent yellow details. The sole unit boasts a worn-out finish with its off-white color -- the same detail is also showcased on the sneaker's suede paneling detail. The whole sneaker sits atop of a chunky sole unit that is complete with a bright yellow outsole, white speckled details, and blue fin-like cutouts before it is rounded out with the DUOMAX branding in dark gray. The aforementioned sea blue also adorns the GEL bubble and ASICS branding.
